SAP Business One vs QuickBooks

SAP Business One and QuickBooks are both popular solutions used by startups and medium-sized enterprises. At first glance, both solutions appear to serve similar purposes, but there are notable differences between the two.

Why are SAP Business One and QuickBooks different?

Yes, QuickBooks is a popular option among small and medium businesses for taking care of their accounting operations. Nevertheless, over time, QuickBooks has proven to be a very restrictive system for growing enterprises. Why? Mainly because it is neither a scalable solution nor a comprehensive approach for integrated businesses.

All differences between SAP Business One and QuickBooks depend on their respective natures. While SAP Business One is an ERP system, QuickBooks is an accounting software.

ERP System vs Accounting Software

An ERP System should be able to cover all business processes, not just accounting. That’s why an ERP solution is referred to as a comprehensive solution. With products like QuickBooks, it’s common that they offer integrations (inventory, sales and CRM management) to replicate an ERP. But when drilling down in their system, you’ll find plenty of limitations that show the restrictive nature of the software. These limitations eventually show up as unsustainable growth for your business.

These are common indicators for SMEs that prove that they’ve outgrown their accounting solution.

No visibility

Do you know what’s working right inside your business and what isn't? Are you aware of irregularities? Is your business data driven?

No business integration

Are you handling multiple platforms for each business process? Are those systems aligned with each other? If not, it’s likely that you're complicating your business operations unnecessarily.

Can’t keep up with customer demands

You're not prepared for high-demand seasonalities or even to continue growing your customer base.

Business process inconsistency

What type of business are you building? Is consistency a KPI for you? Or does every employee have a different approach to activities?

No growth

Growth is the direct reflection of all previous indicators. Does your business seem to be stuck, even when there are growth opportunities all around? Have you considered a partner that can guide you through your growth journey?
